Kalina B. — Co-Founder
Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and executive leader in Customer Engagement, Community, Events, and Communications with 12+ years shaping global programs for enterprise SaaS and consumer platforms. I specialize in bridging customer insights, executive alignment, and product innovation to drive adoption, loyalty, and growth — influencing $50M+ in revenue and contributing to three successful IPOs (Marketo, Anaplan, Asana). Currently, I serve as Head of Customer Engagement & Community at Mixpanel, where I lead GTM strategy and executive programs across North America and LATAM. From launching global Customer Advisory Boards in San Francisco, London, and Bangkok to driving AI-enabled initiatives like the Mixpanel Co-Pilot launch, I focus on scaling programs that align executives, accelerate adoption, and build lasting communities. As a public speaker, author in progress, and trusted advisor to C-suite leaders, I’ve led executive communications and storytelling across North America, LATAM, EMEA, and APAC. My approach blends data-driven precision with empathy and creativity — from ghostwriting for executives, to designing advocacy programs, to building high-performing global teams. I’m also the Founder of UnapologeTECH Circle, a nonprofit and media platform dedicated to empowering women of color and underrepresented professionals in tech and business through mentorship, equity-building initiatives, and community-driven programs. 💡 Core Strengths: Executive & Corporate Communications | Customer Engagement & Advocacy | Community & Executive Programs | Global SaaS Strategy | AI-Driven Innovation | Leadership & Team Building
